Hints from Heloise - Used Greeting Cards (Where to Recycle)

By

Note: St. Jude's Ranch for Children is NOT affiliated with St. Jude's Children's Hospital. I once mistakenly contacted the hospital and was told there was no such program. My mistake.


Dear Heloise: I was wondering if you have the address for mailing used greeting cards. I have a box of cards that I have received during the past few years, but not the address to send them to.

You want to send these cards to St. Jude’s Ranch for Children (a fantastic organization that for more than 30 years has cared for children who have been abused, neglected or abandoned). Old cards are recycled and new ones created, which are sold to help fund its programs.

-

Here are some things to know:

-

Cards are accepted all year long.

-

All types of greeting cards are accepted: birthday, thank-you, holiday-themed and all-occasion.

-

Only the front of the card is used. Make sure there is no writing on the backside.

-

Five-inch by 7-inch size or smaller is the best to send.

-

No Disney, Hallmark or American Greetings cards can be accepted.

-

The most cost-effective way to send these card fronts is in a Flat Rate Box from the U.S. Postal Service.
